Bernardo Pinales

Born in the East Village and raised where Brooklyn meets Queens, Bernardo has NYC in his DNA. He brings a local’s perspective to every client interaction, with a deep understanding of what makes each neighborhood—from Manhattan to Brooklyn to queens —unique and special.

Bernardo started his career in New York real estate at Next Step Realty as an Intern where he worked closely with a few top performing agents for two consecutive years receiving hands-on experience on multiple rental and sale transactions. That early exposure shaped his client-first mindset and gave him a solid foundation in navigating the fast-paced NYC market.

He studied Business Administration at Monroe University, where he also played collegiate baseball. That background gave him a strong work ethic, a team-first attitude, and the hustle to go the extra mile for his clients.

When he’s not out working real estate, you can find Bernardo coaching little league baseball/high school softball, biking around the city, representing the NY Mets at Citi field, or on the hunt for the best slice of pizza in the five boroughs!
